quantisation reduces the size nearly without noticeable loss like http://tinypng.org/ does it.

This should be added to the screenshot tool by standard:

"How does it work?

Excellent question! When you upload a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file, similar colours in your image are combined. This technique is called “quantisation”. Because the number of colours is reduced, 24-bit PNG files can be converted to much smaller 8-bit indexed colour images. All unnecessary metadata is stripped too. The result: tiny 8-bit PNG files with 100% support for transparency. Have your cake and eat it too! "

Canonical/Ubuntu should design quality icons for LibreOffice and provide them as default style in Ubuntu... with a design that fit ubuntu desktop.

So how about it, Canonical? How about an Ubuntu version of Calendar.app / Windows Live Mail / Outlook? Maybe do a little synchronization with my Ubuntu Tablet and Phone via Ubuntu One?

Thunderbird/Lightning is still being developed and is a great solution, maybe Canonical should integrate it with the clock calendar to provide a smooth experience in Ubuntu.

This font specific part should provide:

- filtering based on language script or font characteristics (comic, sans, serif),
- font preview without having to click "details..." on every font.

Also large font packages should be split in smaller packages.

Make filters organizable alphabetically.
Make it possible to organize the filters by destination folder.

In MS Word 2003, in the "Window" this is a "split the page" option. It make me feel convenient to have both the source text and target text in view when I am doing translation. Libreoffice should be possible in doing this...

It would be great if words that I add to Ubuntu's default dictionary on one computer can be synchronized between tmy other computers.

Also, this would be great for fresh installs. I won't have to start adding the words over again to the default dictionary.

The following is a prerequisite.
Here is a general solution that solves this problem permanently. (Programs and distro's come and go, having support a specific thing doesn't do much in the long run.)

Make a standard format for dictionaries.
And a standard api for using them from outside programs.

Then add support for this api in linux and ubuntu userland programs.

The alternative Ribbon interface has been said to be cumbersome. Tabs is a really good UI concept and it's universally accepted, so let's stick with a tabbed UI and set it as a standard in Ubuntu. But it has not been improved much since 2005, so while we are at it, let's bring it into the new decade.

Itroducing HYPERTABS:

Instead of just showing each individual document, the main row of tabs of separate documents would be upgraded to perform more sophisticated "hyperview" (hypertab) selection (i.e., click to view) options.

Tabs as hyperlinks - within a single doc, we could have paragraphs each represented by tabs or subtabs for easy "hyperlinking" during writing. Whenever a double is placed in a document, automatically mark the first nonspace character as a hyperlink. Key locations elsewhere within the text could be marked at will. We could also have automarking for each number of lines (user selected) or percentage of document if desired.

The main tab for a document could act like a drop down menu with hypertabs horizontally appearing below upon hovering. Tabs should include a close [x] button, a view in sidebyside split pane button, and a view in vertical split pane button, along with its standard view full action. This easily facilitate comparison panes (split views) within the same document or with one of the other documents on the main row of document tabs. Not sure of specifics, but with adaptive predictions, the presentation of links and tab layout/format could become very efficient and convenient and customized for each user.

Illustrations and other special objects embedded in the document should be similarly marked (and in this case have the option to get its own editing full view window when its tab is selected). Also, annotations present in the document (these are present in PDF docs, don't know about others) could also be hypertabbed. I'm sure there are other uses, extensions, improvements and ideas.

We can worry about improving the tabbed UI by creating a fully functional "improved tab UI" toolkit in the future. For now, let's just get everybody on the same page. (This solution inspired by moderator comment below)

Window Manager properly thought through and implemented will eliminate the need for tabbed UI, make the juggling of many documents from any applications comfortable, straightforward, and easy. This approach takes the development effort away from many diverse application developers and places it in the Unity developers' hands. (See Moderator Comment Below)

This would simply offer all the current options - Text Document, Spreadsheet etc, also with an entry to open a document from file.

It would be nice to have the possibility to save the email as HTML file. This could be added in the drop-down menu in the save-window or add a context-menu-item when reading an email.
